Courses in Physics (PHY)

Physics 10 is primarily a concept-oriented one-quarter lecture/discussion course requiring relatively little mathematical background.

Physics 1 is a two-quarter sequence requiring some mathematics (trigonometry). Either 1A alone or both quarters may be taken. The sequence is not intended to satisfy entrance requirements of a year of physics for professional schools, but will satisfy requirements of 3 or 6 units of physics.

Physics 7 is a one-year (three-quarter) introductory physics course with laboratory intended for students majoring in the biological sciences. It has a calculus prerequisite. If you don't want a full year of introductory physics, you should take one or two quarters of Physics 1 instead. Read the following information carefully if you are using Physics 7 to complete an introductory course you have already begun.

The sequence of material in Physics 7 is different from that in most traditionally taught introductory physics courses. Physics 7B is most like the first quar­ter or semester of traditionally taught courses which treat classical mechanics. Physics 7C is most like the last quarter or semester which, in traditionally taught courses, treats optics, electricity and magnetism, and modern physics. The content and sequence of Phys­ics 7A is unlike that of most other traditionally taught courses.

If you have completed one introductory quarter or semester of a traditionally taught physics course and want to continue with Physics 7, you should first take (and will receive full credit for) Physics 7A. Then, either skip 7B, but self-study the last three weeks of material, or take 7B and receive reduced credit. Finally, take 7C for full credit.

If you have taken two quarters of a year-long intro­ductory physics course and have not had extensive work in optics, electricity and magnetism, and mod­ern physics, you should take Physics 7C. In no case should you take Physics 7B without first taking Phys­ics 7A. All other situations should be discussed directly with a Physics 7 instructor.

Students not intending to take the entire sequence should instead take Physics 1.

Physics 9 is a four-quarter sequence using calculus throughout and including laboratory work as an inte­gral component. The course is primarily for students in the physical sciences and engineering.

Physics 9H is a five-quarter honors physics sequence, which may be taken instead of Physics 9. It is intended primarily for first-year students with a strong interest in physics and with advanced place­ment in mathematics to Mathematics 21B. Students who plan to major in physics, and also motivated non-majors, should take Physics 9H instead of Physics 9 if they are ready to begin MAT21B in fall quarter. In course requirements and prerequisites, Physics 9HA-9HE can be substituted for Physics 9A-9D. Students may not switch between the 9H and 9 series beyond 9HA or 9A.
